4 They said, »Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to put her away.«

5 But Jesus said to them, »Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.

6 But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.

7 For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

8 and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.«
